The NGO dedicated to the binturong

News from the field (Palawan) - July 2025

Fieldwork was slowed this month due to weather conditions in the Philippines. At our main study site, the team continued to build additional traps for the radio-tracking project.

🔨 All traps will remain closed until September. The team also continued microhabitat assessments across the reserve.

At our secondary study site, the team carried out the usual replacement of camera trap batteries and memory cards. We haven't seen all the data yet, but we have already spotted a few photos of binturongs.

📸 Since we installed the camera traps in the area, we have also been lucky enough to detect the Palawan pangolin (Manis culionensis). 🤩 This species is classified Critically Endangered by UICN❗️

Members of both field teams were interviewed about their work for a short documentary series that’ABConservation preparing for the coming months. 😁
